“I’ve been setting my nightmares, dreams and visions to music for a very long time, and there’s a lot to choose from,” said Carpenter, whose musical career has included composing scores for more than 20 films, along with five albums of Lost Themes. “That means every night of this event will offer something different and unexpected.”
